Just seen this on ebay.

Are all our suppliers trying to put us out of work, first brodex and now cleaningspot.

They missed one phrase out on the advert. You can now sack your window cleaner.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, most people don't have the time or inclination to clean their own windows, otherwise I wouldn't have so many bungalows on my round :)

Lads - give them a break.  ;D

Are they going to sell those poles to any of us window cleaners? They probably have plenty in stock.

The same applies to those brushes, although I do admit some do like them.

My windows haven't been cleaned sine my window cleaner retired. I keep meaning to do them but never get around to it. Somehow, I don't think we should worry.

I cannot really see someone who currently has a window cleaner, spending  £250 and then having to do the work themselves.

All avoid these cleaning company's as they don't give a crap about us losing work by selling these to all the public.

See when you all bought your pole gear, did you give a single thought to squeegee manufacturer's?
It's business, get over it.
